Types of Aviation

There are three primary types of aviation that categorize how aircraft are used and operated:

Commercial Aviation: This involves the operation of aircraft for hire to transport passengers or cargo. Airlines, charter flights, and air cargo companies are all part of commercial aviation.
General Aviation: This encompasses all civil aviation operations other than commercial air transport and aerial work. It includes private flying, flight training, agricultural aviation, and business jets.
Military Aviation: This type involves the use of aircraft by a country's armed forces for defense, combat, surveillance, and transport of military personnel and equipment.

Together, these categories cover the majority of aviation activities worldwide.
